If you have one of those hiker's headlamps, pack it in your carry-on! They are invaluable on overnight flights when they flight attendants turn down the lights and occasionally while poking through an unfamiliar room late at night.

Wash clothes are rare in some parts. (Italy in particular...) Pack your own in a ziplock bag.

Mini moleskin notebooks are great for scribbling notes, phone numbers, addresses and hours, recipes--just about anything. I find one 80 page note is good for a few weeks.
